Bright, beautiful colour is very much in fashion right now.

From zesty tangerine to deep Azure blue, the most chic garments come in a rainbow of colours. Top of the colour charts for summer are bold, richly-toned trousers. There were dozens of options on the catwalks so you can take your pick from skinny jeans in sea blues, tailored trousers in vivid reds or capri pants in an array of bright hues. Wear them with neutral separates, such as a white silk blouse, or clashing prints to create a lively summer look. Finish the outfit with some matching coloured shoes.
